  • Chainlink brings 24/5 on-chain pricing for U.S. stocks and ETFs beyond normal market hours.
  • This enables continuous equity trading and DeFi products on blockchain platforms.

Chainlink has launched a new tool that lets blockchain apps access U.S. stock and ETF prices around 24/5. This service is named 24/5 U.S. Equities Data Streams and went live on January 20, 2026.  This provides the current stock price, buy and sell price, and trading volume even after the market hours. 

Chainlink Solves the After-Hours Pricing Gap for On-Chain U.S. Stocks

Right now U.S.stock market closes on weekends and at night. After the market hours, prices on the crypto apps become old and inaccurate, which increases risk for the DeFi products like derivatives, lending, and synthetic stocks. Now Chainlink delivers the tool to solve the problem by keeping stock prices updated before the market opens, closes, and overnight.

Chainlink fixes this problem by giving the accurate stock prices even when the markets are closed, which helps the Defi apps to track stock-based tokens anytime, can run prediction markets using the real prices, and offers loans and borrowing based on stock value without using old or inaccurate prices.

The service is already processed in over 40 countries and supports exchange-traded funds. Several major on-chain trading platforms like Lighter, Bitmex Apex, and multiple decentralized derivative exchanges started using data to support the synthetic stocks, prediction markets, and Equity perpetual futures. 

U.S. stocks are worth around $80 trillion, but right now, most of the stocks don’t exist on blockchain. Chainlink is helping to bring the stock market data into the blockchain, and even big traditional players like the New York Stock Exchange agrees and are exploring blockchain trading. U.S. regulators are also thinking about 24/7 markets.

BlackRock Increases U.S. Stock Exposure Amid AI Surge

The post BlackRock Increases U.S. Stock Exposure Amid AI Surge appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Points: BlackRock significantly increased U.S. stock exposure. AI sector driven gains boost S&P 500 to historic highs. Shift may set a precedent for other major asset managers. BlackRock, the largest asset manager, significantly increased U.S. stock and AI sector exposure, adjusting its $185 billion investment portfolios, according to a recent investment outlook report.. This strategic shift signals strong confidence in U.S. market growth, driven by AI and anticipated Federal Reserve moves, influencing significant fund flows into BlackRock’s ETFs.

BlackRock’s move reflects confidence in the U.S. stock market’s trajectory, driven by robust earnings and the anticipation of Federal Reserve rate cuts.

AI Surge Propels S&P 500 to Historic Highs At no other time in history has the S&P 500 seen such dramatic gains driven by a single sector as the recent surge spurred by AI investments in 2023.
